It's advertised for 9950,1 owner,fvwsh.. Just had gearbox oil done & new turbo..new tyres all round
New turbo would worry me, 68000 miles needing a turbo?

My vRS apparently has the "weaker" engine than the ED30. Mine has been mapped since it had 500 miles on the clock and i bolted a fully tuned KO4 on it at 50k. Car has now 107k and runs like new still.

Don't give a monkeys about a high mileage personally so long as the service history checks out and the car is nice and tight. 20 years ago mileage was more of a factor but the general reliability of modern motors these days has improved so much.

nothing to worry about mate. I just bought my dsg gti back in november and its got 67k on the clocks. Im only the second owner and the car has a full vw service history and every single thing done to the car was at vw. The car feels like it has just come out of the showroom, couldnt fault it one bit

Didn't buy it in the end as found another one with a MUCH better spec & lower mileage for a few grand more
